Auas Safari Lodge is situated in the heart of Namibia, only 45 minutes by car from Windhoek Airport. Auas Safari Lodge was previously utilised as commercial farm land.
Auas Safari Lodge is not only a destination in itself, but also ideal as a starting-point to a tour of Namibia; or as the last destination before travelling home, giving visitors an opportunity to enjoy the memories of African impressions
once again, in tranquillity.

When the land was acquired by the current owner, he had a vision of converting the land back to it’s pristine, original state, with the long term goal of sustainable utilization of this natural resource, for the benefit of all local and foreign visitors

When one takes a drive or a walk through the veld, and views the variety of flora and fauna now existing on this land, one can appreciate that his dream has largely become a reality.

· All sixteen rooms have their own en suite bathrooms, as well as their own private verandah for reading, bird-watching or simply enjoying a coffee.
· In the summer months, the rooms are quite a comfortable temperature, and if one leaves the windows open, one can be assured of a lovely cool breeze. In the winter months the weather becomes quite chilly – please do make use of the extra blankets in your wardrobe.

· Please note ladies, there is a hairdryer in the draw of the vanity.
· Our water is pumped from underground boreholes into our water tanks, and bottled. It has been tested and is excellent driking water. Namibia is a very dry country, and as such water is a very precious resource. Please assist us to conserve it, by using it sparingly.
· There are very few mosquitoes in this area. In the rainy season there may be a few more, so please take the necessary precautions, by using a good quality mosquito repellant, and covering your arms and legs with light cotton clothing, especially at sunset. Do not be too concerned if you do receive a few bites, as this is not a malaria area.

· We do have a laundry service on offer… laundry lists and bags can be found in your wardrobe!
· If you do have any allergies, or special dietary requirements, please inform our front office personnel so that they may pass on this information to our kitchen.
As this is a game farm, we will try to feature a variety of venison on the menu for your enjoyment. We grow many of our own herbs and vegetables on the farm also, and will try to incorporate these into the menus wherever possible.

· Each room is equipped with a telephone, which is monitored by our central switchboard at the front office.
· All drinks ordered from the bar will automatically be charged to your room account. We try to stock an interesting selection of wines, spirits and liquers – please ask our barman for more information on the local specialties.
